<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 730512, member: 6036&quot;]Perhaps... but the buyer certainly knew that there would be one heck of a fight by the claimants for the other known pieces. Guv&#039;mint can say whatever they like, but the courts will rule as they will. Buyer could not possibly be so naive as to not know there was at least a <i>possibility</i> of the others becoming available.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, as a juror, it would be very difficult to persuade me that the owner of the Fenton piece is due any recompense as a result of drop in market value should the others come on the market. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One buys rare coins, one takes a risk. It&#039;s possible someone could unearth a cache of other post-1928 $20s - reknowned for high mintage, low survival. A cache could come to light which multiplies the number of known examples and drops the value of existing ones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s interesting how much conjecture these particular coins bring up ! We&#039;ve had several threads, and always lively banter. It&#039;s possible these are the most high profile coins ever. They are certainly legendary, with an story unmatched. Fascinating stuff ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
